EA launches Lord of Ultima browser game

Ugh...

How is any of this Ultima? Even UO was a huge departure, but at least Lord British was there.

EA has made its own Evoney. God help us all.

Well I, for one, am always happy to see quality browser games.

They're the future and stuff.

"Lord of Ultima was designed to ensure that everyone, from strategy newcomers to diehard fans, can make it to the top of the leader board."

Haha I love it when moronic marketeers write this sort of drivel.
I mean what the hell is that supposed to mean?

So, EA; I can spend hours upon hours in your 'game', learning the intricacies and becoming a good player, only to have a newcomer come in and trounce me?

Sounds like a great design. Not.

Talk about an over-saturated genre. These city/army building turn based strategy games are simply overflowing all over. For some reason everybody and his Brother thinks that they have to put up their own version. There really are far too many of them out already, and more coming out every day. They're all nearly the same too, except for a few futuristic ones. Maybe if it was Old West or Current Day or something different, but not another medieval turn based strategy city/army building, resource management, blah, it makes me gag a little.

Tried it. I think it's kinda fun. Just my two cents.

Checked this out. As others have said, this is basically a clone of Evony and similar games (as I suspected it would). Maybe it looks a little better, graphically, but I generally dislike these types of games.

I am having fun with it. I even spent 5$ for some diamonds (and I rarely do that kind of thing).
